Is the Bible Trustworthy?

By Dennis King

Mankind has asked, “Is The Bible Trustworthy?” or similar questions for thousands of years. To know if something is trustworthy or not, it is wise to consider not only what it appears to be today but also be aware of its verifiable history.
What were the earliest languages and written translations of the biblical scrolls? Many Pastors and umpteen Deacons could probably answer that with a fair degree of accuracy. But the rest of us may have only been able to conjure obscure ideas on this topic. Was the Bible written in one of those “dead” languages, like ancient Greek? Maybe even Latin, perhaps? What was the original written language, and how did today’s Bible come to be what it is?
The Bible is essentially a history of spiritual matters and prophecies fulfilled and those to be consummated in the future. Even those who wrote the Bible made it clear it was not meant to be a secular chronicle, even though secular events are frequently referenced. It is a book about God and his relationship with man. Our Bible has two main parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Both of those are composed of several books cobbled together by several different authors. The Bible is the amalgamated result of many scrolls revealing the Old and New Testament books. Among all the works ever written, the Bible has the most remarkable qualities. Within the thirty-nine Old Testament and twenty-seven New Testament Books, there is a unity of the overall message despite having forty (or so) authors writing over a period of roughly 2,000 years. These sixty-six books were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Writing from prisons, palaces, and wilderness camps, the authors had wide-ranging professions. They were trailblazers, shepherds, kings, physicians, fishermen and even a despised, most likely corrupt tax collector.
